A recent article in the news observer describes a community outreach program lead in a church garden. Patrick Powers, a contributing community member from Sacramento, California, has worked in the restaurant industry for over 35 years. He understands that when most food finally gets into the mouths of his customers, it has been through multiple processes to retain flavor and keep from molding. On the opposite side, there is eating food fresh from the garden. Patrick says there is nothing like eating a meal that has gone straight from the ground to his plate.
March of last year, Mark developed a project where he transformed an empty church lot into a resource of healthy and affordable food for the surrounding community. The lot, called Redeemer's Field, was located on land that was owned by The Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer. The parks and recreation community garden director, Bill Maynard, advised the church from planning the construction to financing the project. He also connected the church with volunteers to help with the cause.
The construction of Redeemer's Field required many volunteers as local community members, members of the church, and community service organizations came to construct the beautiful community garden. There are currently 20 occupied beds and the garden is open at all hours. Although the community garden is not central towards the church's mission, church members agree that it is more about addressing hunger needs in the community. The garden is located in an area that is considered as one of Sacramento's "food deserts." This becomes the case when an area becomes deprived of access to healthy and affordable food. Redeemer's Field is located in a zip code where a quarter of their population lives below the poverty line. Many citizens live in apartments around the area, so they do not have the resources to grow their own food.
Two of the plots are designated for the church's donation program. Yields from these plots are given to the local homeless shelter. There are a vast number of homeless citizens in the surrounding area, and the church's support for the homeless is one of their main priorities. The garden is also therapeutic for members of the church's alcohol support program.

A recent article in Independent Florida's Alligator defends non-profit institutions efforts in providing food donations to the homeless in Gainesville, Florida. According to the article, the National Coalition for the Homeless ranked Gainesville as the 5th meanest city to the homeless in the country. St. Francis House Inc., Porters Community Farm and GRACE Marketplace are out to prove those rankings wrong. Many of their volunteers are, in fact, surprised by the rankings. There are numerous organizations, businesses, and churches contributing to these non-profit organizations to help the homeless.
The St. Francis house feeds about 235 individuals per day and is open from 10am to 1pm. Typical meals consist of chicken or some other protein and vegetables. St. Francis provides their patrons with fresh and organic produce via donations from Porters Community Farm, located only a few blocks away. The Farm is set to aid low-income residents as well as the homeless. The farm offers a creative method in helping low-income residents. They offer to resident's plant beds that they are able to chose from and plant whatever they decide to purchase.
GRACE Marketplace is another non-profit institution geared towards helping the homeless residents in the area. This institution is set to feed and shelter the homeless. In addition to feeding and sheltering the homeless, GRACE Marketplace provides programs to help people find their way back to self-sufficiency. A food bank called Bread of the Mighty, contribute to GRACE's cause by supplying a hearty breakfast for the homeless every morning. For dinners and lunch, GRACE easily relies on Church groups around the area for food donations.
The Holy Trinity Episcopal Church is one of the main donators for dinners at GRACE Marketplace, as they prepare 75 bag lunches to be handed out to homeless residences every Thursday. The children at the church decorate the bags, which aligns them with the whole point of the gospel: helping others that are less fortunate than you.

http://nyti.ms/1pBYaiN NYTimes: Why Fund-Raising Is Fun
Coyle Consulting Co. LLC
No turkeys.
Non-profits will remain very not-profitable with the wrong Board members. With the right Board members, a non-profit will achieve its mission and do it with financial strength.
What makes for a bad choice for a Board member?
"John Doe just gave a large check to the non-profit. People don't know him but, wow, let's get him on the Board."
"Sally Smith is new in town and we've heard she likes our work. Let's grab her before some other agency does."
"Harry Jones is a great guy. He won't make waves. Let's elect him."
"We need somebody from a bank. Mary Johnson works at First National. Let's go after her."
All are typical comments of a nominating committee. The results will most likely be failures.
Being on a non-profit Board should be a privilege. It should be a prize sought for the right reason — to improve the mission of the agency — and not for personal gain. Selection of the right Board members, then, is one of the top responsibilities of current Board members.
Criticized for recruiting former opponents to help him run the country, Abraham Lincoln replied, "Well, when a man builds a cabinet, he always picks the best wood." Board selection likewise should pick the best wood.
1. Make the process clear and controlled to your present Board. No wild card invitations.
2. Look for people who have already shown commitment to your cause. Maybe they donated or served on an event committee or volunteered with your clients, whatever, look first for that existing commitment.
3. Bring those names to your nominating committee or your Board chair to get agreement on the top prospects.
4. Recruit those top prospects not to be on the Board right away; instead, recruit them to be on key Board committees. Make sure they understand how important their efforts, including financial contributions, will be to the agency.
5. Make their tenure on the Board committee a worthwhile one. At the same time, evaluate their commitment and effort. Do they attend all meetings? If not, do they call ahead? Do they follow up on committee work? Do they participate and contribute while at a meeting?
6. After that first year, select the best of the prospects and bring them to the Board for approval. Once the Board has approved those nominations, two Board members should together recruit the prospects. Don't soft pedal the Board's expectations of its members: Be clear about what you need from the prospects.
7. Once elected, give the new members a solid orientation. That should include the non-profit's bylaws, audited financials, contact information for other Board members and the CEO, information on meeting formats, policies and procedures, and minutes of the last two meetings.
8. Then help the new members make a real contribution to the mission of the non-profit. After all, that's why they're there.

The latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics tell us that in 2012 around 27% of Americans helped their fellow neighbors in need by volunteering their valuable time. That rounds out to around 1 in 4 who chose to volunteer with nonprofits and organizations around the country! Looking to get in on the action? Check out the list below for some of the top websites that are guaranteed to help you find the specific volunteering opportunity of your preference!
VolunteerMatch.org: Started in the 1990s by four MBA's who wanted to create an online experience to help encourage community outreach and civic duty, VolunteerMatch today is by far one of the best sites to visit for your volunteering needs! Super functionally and designed beautifully, VolunteerMatch makes your life easy by allowing you simply to type in your area code and area of interest. From there a list appears detailing the many opportunities you have to volunteer. Most organizations are eager to fit your schedule so truly volunteering has never been easier!
Volunteer.gov: Developed alongside a movement pushed by former President George W. Bush, Volunteer.gov lists itself as America's Natural and Cultural Resources Volunteer Portal and is built and maintained by the Federal Interagency Team on Volunteerism. Again focusing in on benefiting the nation's resources, the organizations' contacts include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Agency (NOAA). These connections grant volunteers the opportunity to help out at some of the largest federal agencies in the country!
Serve.gov: Similar to Volunteer.gov, Serve.gov is apart of President Obama's nationwide service initiate which hopes to extend the impact of successful organizations and nonprofits by encouraging and engaging new volunteers to join the cause! The site is managed by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), a federal agency, and claims that it 'is built on the belief that ordinary people can come together and achieve extraordinary things when given the proper tools.' There are several opportunities to choose from including ending national hunger, encouraging students to graduate, and supporting veteran families.
Overall each of these sites should assist you in your quest for volunteer utopia, so pick a cause so you can get out there and do some good!
Kiva Microfunds, a non-profit organization that brings micro loans to low-income/underserved students and business owners in 70 countries, has recently received a $3 million dollar grant from Google as the recipient of a Global Impact Award. It's president and co-founder Premal Shah says that the fudns will be allocated to launching Kiva Labs that will allow more flexibility in microlending. "There are another 2.5 billion people who still don't have access to capital. How do we reach the people who are truly at the end of the dirt roads?" Shah explained. The non-profit organization has been able to crowdfund $504 million dollars in microloans from 1 million individuals over the last 8 years. The recipients of these microloans are in 73 countries and the lenders are repaid through the platform and are able to reinvest in other business or withdraw the money.
Kiva has already crowdfunded $504 million in microloans from 1 million lenders since it was founded in 2005. Loans go to poor people in 73 countries and thus far Kiva says the repayment rate has been 99%. With this grant from Google, the company will be able to expand its Kiva Labs arm and partner with nonprofits and social enterprises to help fund 100,000 small business owners, farmers and low-income households. It even plans to expand to offering longer-term loans for students to pay university tuition.
Google's philanthropic arm, Google.org, awarded about 25 organizations with Global Impact Awards. Among those organizations were the nonprofit Samasource and direct cash transfer group GiveDirectly, similar to Kiva providing money to poor households in Kenya and Uganda. Winners of these awards not only have an innovative or technology-driven solution, but also have a "healthy disregard for the impossible," according to Google.
Kiva President Shah is passionate about growing Kiva's reach and increasing its impact to as many of the world's poor as possible. Says Shah: "Truly in the next 10 years this is really scalable. We could reach hundreds of million of people."

Gender bias can often color our judgment when it comes to correctly perceiving someone's character.
Gender bias can often color our judgment when it comes to correctly perceiving someone's character.
Neurotics have a big sense of right and wrong, set high standards for themselves, and sometimes proverbially carry the world on their shoulders. In contrast, disturbed and disordered characters have a remarkably impaired, immature, or underdeveloped conscience. In some extreme cases, conscience can be absent altogether and even the capacity to form a conscience nonexistent.
In my new book, Character Disturbance, I go to great lengths to highlight the many and significant differences between most folks and people of disturbed character.
Dealing with disturbed characters effectively requires a completely different strategy from traditional methods.
Mature, adult life is all about being guided in your actions by values and sound judgment as opposed to letting your urges and impulses run the show.

This is the perfect time of year to make a big salad, with fresh Ontario corn and tomatoes in abundance. Lettuce, some raw organic pumpkin seeds for texture, a traditional vinaigrette dressing and an egg salad on top make this a great salad for anyone.

Manon of the Spring Movie Review
Manon carries with her the knowledge that Ugolin and Papet indirectly killed her father by sealing off his spring, so when she discovers the mountainous source of the spring -- and the water for the nearby town -- she returns the favor in kind. Alas, poor Ugolin finds himself falling in love with the wispy wanderer, leaving him dying both from thirst and a broken heart.
Gerard Depardieu, brilliant in Florette, is sorely missed in the sequel, but Auteuil and Montand as the guilt-stricken bad guys still make for lively and sympathetic villains to Béart's doe-eyed heroine. An admirable follow-up that completes the saga that Claude Berri started with such aplomb.
(Based on the second half of the novel Jean de Florette.)
Aka Manon des sources.

Listen up ladies: We know you're keeping secrets from us. And even though you think you've got men all figured out, we're hiding a few things ourselves. But we're kind enough to compile this list of 50 universal guy truths that all women should understand. Read on and learn what your man is really thinking.
1. Express yourself. It makes us proud, even if someone thinks you're wrong.
2. You look hot in running shoes and shorts. And that top thingy with the stripes.
3. Bare, tan shoulders are underrated.
4. If you think I'm speeding now, you should see me drive when you're not in the car.
5. If you're truly interested in us, don't play hard to get.
6. Shopping is a chore, not an activity.
7. When I screw up, go ahead and tell me—once.
8. No question need ever be asked through a closed bathroom door if I'm inside. I love you less with each syllable you utter.
9. I'm hot for you, not your sister or your friend or your coworker.
10. My guy friends. Not only are they not negotiable, they're your best sign that I'm not a whack job.
11. Don't be afraid to ditch the makeup. Natural is sexier.
12. Leave the eyebrows alone. Plucked ain't pretty.
13. You can have sex with us any time you want. Seriously.
14. When the game is on, we will pay attention to you if you're nice about it. Bark, and we shut down.
15. I don't ask for directions because I'm just happy to be driving. Anywhere.
16. Masturbation is merely practice for the big game. Encourage it.
17. We crave hugs and hand-holding too. And no, it doesn't always have to lead to sex.
18. But you can have sex with us any time you want. Did we mention that?
19. There's no better sound in the world than you, having an orgasm.
20. Though the exhaust note of a Porsche Boxster is pretty damn fine, too.
21. I just may lie to make you feel good. Don't be angry about this. You really weren't looking for the truth anyway.
22. When you get angry over some stupid little pointless thing, I question your intelligence.
23. You're really bad at faking it.
24. If I offer my help while you're getting ready, it means you're late.
25. Never ask me to pick out your outfit. (See above.) I will invariably get it wrong and make us even more late.
26. Giving me two or three choices, however, can be fun. Assuming you will change outfits in front of me. Slowly.
27. Err on the side of hot; I love to show you off.
28. Unless we're meeting my parents.
29. When you call us at work "just to chat," we're not really listening; we're checking our e-mail.
30. Spring means baseball and skirts. Doesn't need to be a mini-skirt; it's been a long winter.
31. Chicks who drink beer are hot. Better yet: chicks who drink beer and watch the game. Better still: chicks who buy us a beer during the game.
32. We don't mind being told we look good. Just don't call it a "cute outfit."
33. We love ponytails.
34. Being good in bed means a) enthusiasm; b) a sense of humor; and sometimes c) patience.
35. The first time? We're as nervous as you are.
36. A random unexpected grope is always welcome, even in public. Especially in public.
37. Make us laugh and we'll want to hang around.
38. Yes, I laugh really loud around the guys. And I always will, so deal.
39. Sure, men stereotypically like to solve a woman's problems. But a woman who solves her own while we watch? Instant erection.
40. You can pick the movie, but have a reason.
41. Do not expect to have a conversation via text message unless you use the words "naked" and "waiting."
42. Sometimes we wonder why any woman would want to be with us, much less someone as amazing as you. So, thanks.
43. Anytime you cook for us, we're happy.
44. If you can hit a golf ball 150 yards, we just might fall in love.
45. No, I don't remember what he said next. Or she. Or anybody, for that matter. I'm a guy, not a tape recorder.
46. We love you even more because you know we need to go out with the guys once in a while.
47. And we love it when you hang with us guys, too.
48. We have a keen sense of imminent danger. It sounds like, "Do you think she's pretty?"
49. Don't rely on us for keeping you up on the news.
50. Never say, "I know you better than you know yourself." Nobody does.

This is an excellent historical fiction novel about life in the early colonies of Australia, or New South Wales as it was called at the time. The book follows the life of William Thornhill who grows up in utter poverty in London at the end of the 18th century. He falls in love with and marries Sal, whose father works on the Thames and apprentices William as a waterman. Things start to turn the corner for William and he sees a way that his life could turn out ok. Unfortunately circumstances change and he ends up in Newgate for stealing, condemned to death. He is granted life, but shipped with his wife and son to Australia. This first part of the book was familiar and nothing new to me - I've read many historical fiction novels about the poor and down-trodden in London - but the life the family leads in New South Wales was a different story.
Thornhill fairly quickly buys his pardon and gets enough cash working on the water to have some options. The one he chooses is to break into the uncharted forest with his young family, staking his claim on a hundred acres of land with no regard for the native blacks who already live there. The struggle between him, the other white settlers, and the natives is dark and brutal. I certainly wasn't rooting for Thornhill or the other settlers. Grenville does a convincing job of portraying the mindset of Thornhill, how he could think it was his right to claim this land, without beating the reader over the head with "deep messages". I thought she also kept an eye on how his time in poverty and as a prisoner affected his need to own land and kept him always wanting more. The book is told from the perspective of the white settlers, but she manages to still show how well the native society functioned, even though it was so different from the white society and the settlers really didn't understand or value it at all.
Overall, I thought Grenville handled this time period with a lot of insight and depth. Though the subject matter was hard to read about, I highly recommend this book.
A disturbing but exceptionally well-written and researched historical novel about the early settlement of Australia. I was very interested in the background story in London of William Thornhill and was tearing through it but when the family moves to land on the river and tries to settle it, I could see the coming confrontation with Aborigines and I just slowed and stopped for a while. I finally pushed on but it really was horrific when the final massacre of the natives happened. I could not read some of the more graphic parts and I really kept wishing that he had just turned around and left his land. The ending was very enigmatic; Thornhill becomes very successful but it seems all the settlers have a very hollow victory, indeed. I'm thinking about Crossing this one, I'm not sure I have the strength to read it again.
There was nothing in this book to make it stand out from all the other stories of a man (sometimes with a wife or a wife and children) who is forced out of his current situation and heads to the wilderness to start a new life. He has to kill a lot of people along the way but makes a success of himself, becomes wealthy and yet has some dissatisfaction.
William Thornhill is born into poverty in 18th century London, only achieving modest prosperity after being apprenticed to his childhood sweetheart's father and becoming a bargeman working on the River Thames. But after the death of his parents-in-law, the accumulation of debt and repossession of his boat drives them back into the spiral of poverty, and Thornhill begins thieving to make ends meet. Caught and convicted of stealing a load of Brazil wood one night, he is sentenced to transportation to New South Wales, accompanied by his wife and infant child.
Australia, though a harsh and alien land to the English convicts, was in some ways also a land of opportunity. Granted his ticket of leave, Thornhill soon realises that this is a place where he can accomplish something impossible for him in England: the possession of land. Establishing a freehold on the Hawkesbury River north of Sydney, he has his first encounters with the native Aboriginals, and soon comes to realise that he can only accomplish his dream by dispossessing others of their land.
Grenville's sense of place is evocative. You can feel the cold fog of London, Thornhill working in the Thames up to his waist, the living hell of Newgate Prison. The scruffy, struggling colony of Sydney is equally as immersive – the heat, the insects, the bizarre nature of the trees to a European eye:
She was inclined to take it personally about the trees,wondering aloud that they did not know enough to be green, the way a tree should be, but a washed-out silvery grey so they always looked half dead. Nor were they a proper shape, oak shape or elm shape, but were tortured formless things, holding out sprays of leaves on the ends of bare spindly branches that gave no more protection from the sun than shifting veils of shadow.
The Secret River runs an inevitable course towards violent confrontation between the settlers and Aboriginals, but does so without seeming preachy or heavy-handed. The novel is told entirely from Thornhill's point of view, but despite being pushed into horrific acts, he remains a sympathetic character. There is no question that the British Empire brutally dispossessed Australian Aboriginals of their land, their culture and their heritage, and that they remain a discriminated underclass two centuries later. But what had never occurred to me before was that in many cases, the people directly killing them and taking their land were an underclass themselves: Britain's poor, forced into crime by desperation, and sent to a distant land where their only chance of prosperity was to go to the fringes of settled land and naturally come into conflict with the locals. Thornhill's determination to own land is not motivated by greed, but by fear; he knows what it is to be poor, and wishes to secure a future for his children. It's a sad story, and Grenville masterfully balances our sympathy for the Aboriginals with our sympathy for a poor, stricken man given the tantalising chance to create a bulwark against starvation and misery.
The Secret River is excellent historical fiction; I could recommend it for the opening London chapters alone. But it becomes truly great after Thornhill's transportation to Australia – a sad and frightening novel of two cultures colliding.
This story explores the effect Australia had on the main characters and the way they both cope with the unknown in their new circumstances.

Sri Lanka 139 for 1 (Tharanga 59*, Dilshan 50) beat India 138 (Gambhir 65, Perera 3-19, Mathews 3-14) by nine wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Related Links
Players/Officials: Gautam Gambhir | Angelo Mathews | Thisara Perera
Matches: Sri Lanka v India at Hambantota
Series/Tournaments: India tour of Sri Lanka
For the first three overs on a blustery afternoon in Hambantota, Sri Lanka looked thrown. Running in through strong winds, their opening bowlers found rhythm elusive and lines hard to control. Lasith Malinga got no movement; the debutant Isuru Udana's first over comprised 11 balls and contained 16 runs; there were careless overthrows and misfields; and India scored 31 for 0 with barely a risk. And then Thisara Perera, in the midst of his best home summer, changed everything and turned Sri Lanka's quest to draw level in the series into a cruise.
Perera made the ball swing in the air and seam off the surface. He did not bowl grenades, but he did not need to. Against accurate lengths and stingy lines, India's batsmen weren't far from playing an impatient shot. Perera took a wicket in each of his first three overs without conceding a run, and he could have had a fourth had Angelo Mathews not dropped MS Dhoni at first slip. His spell of 3-3-0-3 left India on 41 for 4 after eight overs, a slide that did not subside.
As India collapsed like an undercooked cake at one end, Gautam Gambhir held the other up. He'd begun with a crisp square drive and a flick off the pads as early as Malinga's second over, but his steadiness was swamped by the ineptness of his team-mates. He nearly became the first India player to carry his bat in a one-day international but was the last man out, for 65.
Having dismissed India for 138 in the 34th over, Sri Lanka had nine overs to bat before the dinner break. The wind was still blowing in Hambantota, and Upul Tharanga and Tillakaratne Dilshan capitalised on several loose deliveries to score 64 before the interval. The remaining 75 was added without much alarm as well, though Dilshan's dismissal prevented Sri Lanka from achieving their first ten-wicket victory against India in ODIs.
Smart stats
The momentum shift after Dhoni won his second toss in two games, and chose to bat in favourable conditions, had been sudden. It occurred when Perera lunged to his right, throwing his large frame against the momentum of his follow through, to catch with both hands a loose push from Virender Sehwag. In his second over, Perera got rid of the bogeyman by inducing a thick edge from Virat Kohli, who had hundreds in his previous three innings against Sri Lanka. He made 1 today after failing to execute a steer to third man.
Perera hurt India further in his third over. Suresh Raina hung his bat outside off stump, reaching for the ball angling across him without fluent footwork, and played on. A ball later, he found another edge, off Dhoni's bat, but it was put down at first slip.
Mathews, who had extended Rohit Sharma's wretched run by bowling him off the inside edge for a duck, soon made amends for his gaffe. He got the ball to bounce off a good length, cramp Dhoni for room on the cut and take the edge to Sangakkara. Between those edges, Dhoni had played two fluent off drives against Perera for boundaries.
After Irfan Pathan holed out to Perera at mid-off, Gambhir and R Ashwin put on 28 for the seventh wicket before a comical run-out ended the partnership. Having cut the ball towards third man, Ashwin wanted a third but was sent back. His turning radius was so large and his movement so slow that he failed to cover the short distance even though he dived. Gambhir looked on in despair. Sri Lanka ended the India innings well before dinner; the only pity was there were so few people to watch their clinical performance.
The crowd was bigger when Sri Lanka began their chase and the sound of celebratory trumpets was ever-present. The hosts could have lost Dilshan on 1 but Sehwag grassed the edge off the attempted booming drive against Irfan. India barely had another opportunity. Dilshan scored at more than a run-a-ball despite hitting only four boundaries. Tharanga, in contrast, hit fours more frequently, freeing his arms to play the drive and the cut when given room outside off stump.
Both India's left-arm bowlers - Zaheer Khan and Irfan - bowled wayward lines in the wind. Between them, they conceded 14 runs through wides. There were 24 extras in all. India were a beaten side before the dinner break and Dilshan flicked the first ball after resumption to the midwicket boundary, continuing Sri Lanka's inexorable march towards victory, which was achieved with 30.1 overs to spare.

Investment group buys Sacramento Kings
Send this to a friend
- Staff Kansas City Business Journal
Owners of the Sacramento Kings, a professional basketball team was once the Kansas City Kings, agreed Monday to sell a majority ownership of the team to a group of investors, the Sacramento Business Journal reports.
The Maloof family still must get approval from the National Basketball Association's board of governors to sell the team to the investors group led by hedge-fund investor Chris Hansen, the report says. Hansen declined to discuss terms of the agreement.
Hansen's group includes Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer and is from Seattle, which lost its team to Oklahoma City. The Sporting News reports that the team will play next season in Seattle.

LOS LUNAS -- PNM crews restored power to more than 1,800 customers after a widespread outage early Thursday.
According to PNM, a vehicle crashed into a power pole near the area of Meadow Lake Road and El Cerro Loop. The damage was so extensive, crews had to replace the pole altogether.
At its peak, the power outage affected more than 2,000 residents in Valencia County. The outage lasted for about 10 hours and closed Ann Parish Elementary School on Thursday.

Quick sketches of my shifter monk.
Faded Sketches turned 2 today!
Thanks to everyone for each like and follow you've given me. :) They brighten up my day and encourage me to keep posting. Thank you.
Something simple, because I'm tired of being stressed about drawing.
This is Emerinion, a friend's character, the dearheart of my Eche. ♥
Oh hey whats this I drew a super quick thing
It's Eche again, he grows branches and moss, I imagine he'd look something like this if he didn't trim them. I forgot to make his skin look all bark-y. Ref used for pose.
Just a quick doodle of my charr, Mihret Hopecrush. :) I thought I was being original with her last name, but it turns out there is an npc, "Zyron Hopecrush". Oh well.
Another unfinished thing…
These two are my character Lumi's parents, Mneme and Auronen, some time long ago.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Wishlist for TES VI
Maybe if they brought back item enchanting capacity, or whatever it was called, from Morrowind. Like, a belt could only hold 60 points of an enchantment (like, a Petty soul gem or something), whereas a cuirass could like 1,000 points. I don't think that would work too well, though, when everything is a constant effect enchantment. It would just clutter everything up. And I'm not suggesting we bring back Cast When Used enchantments. Those were silly.
I liked Attributes in Fallout, where they ranged from 1-10 instead of 1-100. It felt like it made a much larger difference when attributes changed; of course, they would have to mitigate Fortify Attribute effects for enchanting, maybe keeping it on specific artifacts or something. But it just feels redundant in Oblivion where you have a skill and an attribute determining the same thing; how much damage is done with a weapon, how much somebody likes you, etc. As M'aiq says, "It does not matter to M'aiq how strong or smart one is. It only matters what one can do."
Sometimes I edit my sig so it continues whatever I was posting about.
I like the idea of having more pieces of armor to wear, and I just thought of a possible solution to the enchantment-balance issue... what if the more different enchantments you had, the less effective each one became? Say for example a +30% damage were balanced against +20% each for damage and armor, or +15% each for damage, armor, and stealth? Chalk it up to magical interference or some other mumbo-jumbo.
I don't have a sig.
A lot of the changes that have been suggested aren't actually likely to happen. It would be nice to be able to mix and match armor and clothing, but it would require a ton of processing power since it would mean every single NPC would have to have those same options available as well. Levitation isn't coming back as long as Bethesda puts cities in separate cells.
Combat hasn't evolved much since Daggerfall, and I don't expect to see any massive changes in TES VI. The series has always been about exploration more than combat. The voice acting in this game was an improvement over Oblivion. There was a lot of reused voice actorss and dialogue, but that's to be expected given the number of NPCs and storage limitations. The Morrowind dialogue system was much more complex, since it didn't use voice acting, but I don't think it's realistic to go back to that system. Gamers these days expect voice acting.
I initially missed being able to more fully customize my character at the beginning of the game (setting attributes and birthsign), but I now realize that most of that is still available in Skyrim via Standing Stones and perks. I can see why Bethesda did what they did: new players aren't always sure what kind of character they really want to play, and allowing you to change birthsigns and put points into perks as you play the game more naturally, rather than forcing you to continue down the path you chose at the outset of the game. I don't see that changing in the next iteration of the series.
A few realistic changes that I would like to see:
-A better menu system. Seriously, the Oblivion menu was better than Skyrim's. At least let me sort items by weight, damage, etc.
-More follower options (the Companion wheel from Fallout: New Vegas would be great).
-A spell creation system.
-Make alchemy portable again. You can keep alchemy labs, but at least give us a mortar and pestle so we can make basic potions on the go.
-Better quests. Each guild had a decent main storyline, but the individual quests weren't terribly inspiring, with a few exceptions. The dynamic quest system for NPCs was a nice touch, but needs a bit more variety.
-Greater customization of personal weapons and armor. If Bethesda could limit this to the player character in order to minimize the amount of processing power that would be used, it would be a nice addition.
-Add back a couple more skills. I can see why Bethesda streamlined skills, but at least give us back Unarmed.

A very simple fix would be to make some pieces of equipment "unenchantable".

Here comes a shocker. Contrary to popular perception that playing violent video games makes people aggressive, a new study says playing such games may actually lead to increased moral sensitivity and pro-social behaviour in real life.
Committing immoral behaviour in a video game elicits feelings of guilt in players and such guilt can lead them to be more sensitive to the moral issues they violated during game play, the findings showed.
"Rather than leading players to become less moral, this research suggests that violent video-game play may actually lead to increased moral sensitivity," said Matthew Grizzard, assistant professor at the University at Buffalo in the US.
"This may, as it does in real life, provoke players to engage in voluntary behaviour that benefits others," he added.
Researchers induced guilt in participants by having them play a video game where they violated two of five moral domains — care/harm, fairness/reciprocity, in-group loyalty, respect for authority, and purity/sanctity.
"We found that after a subject played a violent video game, they felt guilty and that guilt was associated with greater sensitivity toward the two particular domains they violated — those of care/harm and fairness/reciprocity," Grizzard said.
The study appeared online in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behaviour and Social Networking.

Central Okanagan News
CN Rail spoof
UPDATE 12 P.M. - Castanet's hoax about the CN Rail line garnered a lot of attention. For those taken in by our April Fools spoof, our sincere apologies.
The lawyer's name is a dead give away - Lorna I. Ellison (acronym LIE).
For information on how the real story is progressing check out the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative.
Castanet has learned CN rail has sold the former Kelowna Pacific Railway corridor to a private developer.
That means efforts by local governments and private concerns to see the area preserved as a multi-use pathway stretching from downtown Kelowna to Vernon have been unsuccessful.
While CN, which owns the line and the property adjacent, has not made an official announcement, an internal memo leaked to Castanet indicates the sale has been completed.
CN had apparently been negotiating with a prospective buyer who had hoped to purchase the railway in hopes of operating it once again.
Those negotiations, according to the memo, fell through.
Instead of then making the property available for purchase by interested levels of government, CN instead has agreed to sell the property to a developer.
The memo, from lawyer Lorna I. Ellison, states, in part, "It is our best legal opinion that once the deal to sell the rail line to parties interested in re-establishing a rail route from Vernon to Kelowna fell through, CN Rail was under no obligation to offer the property to government agencies first.
It is also our belief the offer from the private developer will fetch a price four or five times what public interests would be able to pay with taxpayer funds."
Castanet has also learned the development company is based out of Calgary with ties to a large pipeline company.
We will have more details as they become available.

A celebrity retreat since 1964, the newly renovated Kahala is quite possibly the best hotel in Oahu. Yet its vibe is more "family fun" than "pretentious glitz" -- think swimming with dolphins, not posing in lounges. Sure, it's your only luxury option in a quiet setting without leaving Oahu -- but it's also a great one.
Of the three luxury hotels in Waikiki -- the Moana Surfrider and the Halekulani are the others -- the 528-room Royal Hawaiian provides the most stunning design, the warmest service, and a solid collection of free little extras, turndown treats, and welcome leis.
As Waikiki's first hotel, the 1901 plantation-style oceanfront Moana Surfrider offers a dose of historic charm on one of the nicest -- albeit most congested -- stretches of Waikiki Beach. Small rooms are offset by impressive public spaces, including an outdoor courtyard with live nightly music beneath a sweeping banyan tree, and an enormous spa and fitness center.
One of Maui's most intimate properties, with 19 mostly courtyard-facing rooms and suites, a small pool, free breakfast from the top-notch Gerard's Restaurant, and a small staff that coddles guests, the Plantation Inn is a rare and lovely option in harborfront Lahaina -- but beaches are more than a five-minute drive away.
The Manoa Valley Inn is a mid-range bed and breakfast in a residential neighborhood of Honolulu. The post-Victorian property has seven uniquely decorated rooms that, like the rest of the inn, have a mix of antique furnishings and kitschy pieces. The family running the B&B provide a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and a large breakfast with both hot and cold options. For a unique experience in a less busy area of Honolulu, the inn is a good choice, but guests will need a car to get to the beach and other parts of the city.
